>>So, when one says “it’s only money” or “only an object” what they are really saying is “I don’t value my life very much.”
Just a corollary point, not really disagreeing with you: Whenever I’ve said “it’s just an object and easily replaced” it was usually in a situation where the person I was talking to had just survived something rather destructive—a car crash, a fire, that sort of thing.
I value life and in *these* cases, the value of money (some portion of life) is lesser than the value of human life in it’s entirety—the person survived. In most other cases I completely agree with you
When it comes to thieves, I’ve had things stolen, cars broken into, my convertible top mangled, and I was upset precisely because I knew the time and effort it took me to earn the money to pay for those items. And as you said, those thieves stole a little bit of my life I’ll never have back.
Sort of like watching one of Zero’s speeches (LOL), which is why I don’t bother watching them.
I completely agree with you when it comes to those situations.
